2025 EASTER SEASON: Reflection Guides & Resources Available Now!
FORMATION + IMMERSION = ANIMATION
and TRANSFORMATION of school communities
We believe that by providing educators with strong formation opportunities and powerful immersion experiences, we can help animate them as mission educators in their schools and dioceses. By supporting educators through our three-phase teacher development plan, we can help empower them as mission educators to transform students, families, and your fellow educators in answering their baptismal call to mission.
As a Maryknoll Teacher Mission Partner member, you will periodic email updates on resources and opportunities, including on the programs below. Learn more about becoming a member.
